Dalvin Cook Fantasy

New York Jets running back Dalvin Cook continued to be an afterthought in this putrid offense in the 34-13 loss to the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Friday in Week 12. Cook finished the loss with just one carry for two yards and caught two of his three targets for 19 yards in the passing attack. The Jets couldn't do anything on the ground against Miami, totaling 29 rushing yards as a team (25 from Breece Hall). The 28-year-old Cook remains a distant second on the RB depth chart behind Hall, and in an offense now led by quarterback Tim Boyle, there's absolutely zero upside for Cook in his current role. At best, Cook is merely a handcuff option for fantasy managers that have Hall rostered in deeper leagues. Cook is averaging a career-low 3.2 yards per carry for 162 rushing yards and no TDs on 50 attempts in 2023.

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh hinted that the team is going to look to get running back Dalvin Cook more touches behind Breece Hall moving forward. "I feel like his legs are alive ... getting him a role is a priority," Saleh said. Cook had 13 carries in the season opener with the team easing Hall in from his torn ACL suffered last year. Since then, Cook hasn't seen double-digit carries and is averaging just 3.13 yards per attempt on the ground. He looked more spry in the Week 10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, though, carrying four times for 26 yards (6.50 yards per tote). Hall is going to remain the lead back for the Jets, though, and the offense isn't moving the ball consistently enough to allow for much more work for Cook. We'll believe in a bigger role for Cook only when we see it happen.

New York Jets running back Dalvin Cook rushed four times for 26 yards and failed to catch his lone target in the Sunday Night Football loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. With Breece Hall fully healthy, Cook is no longer on the fantasy football radar. The former Minnesota Viking has totaled 147 yards on 47 carries and fewer than 50 yards on 10 receptions this year. Although Hall hasn't been efficient in recent weeks, he's clearly the bell cow back. Cook might not even be worth stashing in fantasy football. In a Zach Wilson-led offense, Cook would likely have limited value even if his workload sees an uptick down the stretch.
